The FBI Wants To Charge Companies $25k A Day For Not Helping Them Spy On You

The FBI is tired of tech companies letting users communicate in
ways that they can't snoop on.

They're so sick of it, in fact, that they're proposing a new law
that would let them fine companies $25,000 for each day that the
companies don't give them a back door, according to The New York Times.

"The FBI believes it can have itboth ways: that it can open systems to
its eavesdropping, but keep them secure from anyone else's
eavesdropping. That's just not possible. It's impossible to build
a communications system that allows the FBI surreptitious access
but doesn't allow similar access by others. When it comes to
security, we have two options: We can build our systems to be as
secure as possible from eavesdropping, or we can deliberately
weaken their security. We have to choose one or the
other."
